That game was over before it was over: a 50-18 lead for St. John's at balillme, a 74-59 fmal. ' y got slightly catatonic back th re Egan recalled, smiling tight- ly How quickly they forget - and thank goodness for small favors. Y terday, faced with a similar situ- at10 the Toreros (2 5) played with rpr1S1ng composure and efficiency before 5,714 UCLA fans In fact, they made a game of it, to the consternation of UCLA coach Jun Harrick Hamck liberally sub- stituted the Bruins' second lme of tai- nt, but with bis heavily favored team Jeadmg only 62-6-0 with 713 left, b as forced to remsert his stars. "They (the Toreros) didn't come in

here and lay down." said Harrick, the former Pepperdine head coach. ''They were very competitive ... Shoot, they had a c· nee, a good chance, and that's all you expect - an equal chance " The same USD team that had looked so flat in a JO-point loss to San Diego State at midweek did indeed have a chance against the Bruins. The Torer<>S shot 43 percent from the field, to UCLA's 44 percent, and were out-rebounded only 45-39, despite an obvious size disadvantage on the front line. ·•1 don't think we were intimidated by them," said John Jerome, who started at center despite standing only 6-foot-8. Jerome finished with 20 poll1ts, leading five USO players in

double figures. "We were scared and we showed it In the extreme against St. John's," Jerome said "Here, we were calmer, more settled. And that's what we've got to gain: to learn bow to avoid all the hoopla and realize we're just playing basketball." But for a couple of lapses, the Toreros might have thrown a genu- ine scare 1J1to the Bruins ( 4-0). Near the end of what bad been an inspired first half, USO permitted Trevor Wilson and Don MacLean to assert themselves in UCLA's offen- sive scheme. That breakdown pro- duced the 41.32 halftime lead that stood up as the Bruins' margin of vic- tory. Wilson, the senior forward who led

all scorers with 25 points and all re- bounders with 12, collected six of UCLA's fmal 10 points in the hali. MacLeao scored the other four, and the Bruins seemed in control. For the Toreros, it was a window of opportunity - to jump. Instead, they steadied themselves, scored the first eight points of the second bali to close to 41-40, and nagged UCLA until Harrick asked for Wilson and MacLean again. "It's confidence, definitely," said USO backup center Brooks Barn- hard, a freshman from Escondido. "Against St. John's, we didn't come out to play. Here, we came out like we were going to win. I mean, we gave 'em a good run. I thought we bad 'em."

In bis heart, Egan might have known better. In any event, the Bruins dispelled that notion down the stretch with the help of Wilson and electrifying freshman guard Mitch Butler. Sent back into the action by Har- riett, Wilson scored 10 of bis points in the final 7:13. Butler blocked two shots and fmished a break he bad started with one of the blocks by driving for a layup, drawing a foul and converting a free throw, That made the score 77-62 and put the game out of reach with 3-42 re- maining. "This was our best team effort of the year," said senior forward Craig Cottrell, "We've just got to go on and take it from here."
